On Sunday, September 27, 2026, Muckleshoot families and community members gathered for a heartwarming Grandparents Brunch celebrating the special role grandparents and Elders play in our lives and community. The event brought together multiple generations for a morning filled with delicious food, and meaningful connections. Grandparents enjoyed spending time with their children and grandchildren, sharing stories and memories that made the gathering truly memorable. Events like the Grandparents Brunch remind us of the importance of honoring our Elders and recognizing the wisdom, guidance, and love they pass on to future generations. Their teachings and support help strengthen family bonds and preserve the values and traditions that enrich our community. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the event a success. We are grateful for the grandparents and Elders whose dedication, resilience, and care continue to inspire our families every day.
